I am noob to rsyslog, but from the documentation I've been able to find, I
was able to get remote logging for the standard syslog stuff set up fine,
messages, mail, auth/secure, etc.

However, I've been trying to get a couple of non-standard stuff going with
mixed results.  First, there is fail2ban.  I configured /etc/rsyslog.conf
as follows:

# fail2ban log
local6.*                                        /var/log/fail2ban.log

and fail2ban.conf as follows:

loglevel = 3
logtarget = SYSLOG
syslog-facility = 22
syslog-target = /var/log/fail2ban.log

fail2ban logs remotely, but instead of to the file specified above (I
touched it), it logs to messages.  What did I miss?

Similarly, I created a cisco log and generated logging on the cisco.  In
this case, it does log to the file I created, but it duplicates it to
messages as well.

Clues appreciated!
